NC Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson misses second vote on Helene-related request
The hurricane has wrecked lots of the south. Especially North Carolina.
It would be really convenient for the Republicans if that caused low voter turnout next month.
North Carolina is a battleground state this year.
Edit: Also, Asheville is one of the most Democrat areas of the state, and was also hit the hardest. It is pretty clear that he wants people to live hard or die to improve the Republican chances in November.
All the rest of the area affected outside of Ashville is solidly R. Asheville density wise, will probably be better able to bounce back to support the election.
I wouldn't be so sure about how "solid" the R position is in Western NC.
I know plenty of people in the Franklin/Highlands area who are voting D despite traditionally voting R.
The area still leans red overall, but it is much more purple today than it has been historically. Plenty of people are sick of Trump.
Republicans benefit from low turnout in a political climate like that.
Sure seems like an opportunity here since Mike Johnson has refused to call Congress back to vote on further hurricane relief until after the election. We need to make sure all the people in NC and the rest of the Southeast know that the GOP is willing to sacrifice their well being and even their lives just to avoid doing anything that might make the democrats look good before the election.
Don't blame him - he was just really into this one video on nudeafrica.
